Shimano Vanquish C2500 SFA HG Spinning Reel
Ultra-Lightweight Precision for Serious Anglers
The Shimano Vanquish C2500 SFA HG redefines what it means to fish with finesse. Designed with the philosophy “Only the best is good enough,” this reel combines ultra-lightweight construction, exceptional smoothness, and elite engineering to deliver a spinning reel suited for anglers who demand peak performance.
Built with Shimano’s CI4+ carbon material and a solid magnesium Hagane body, the Vanquish weighs just 175g—making it one of the lightest in its class. This lightweight design is paired with the newly engineered Magnumlite Rotor, which offers reduced startup inertia and enhanced balance, allowing for incredibly smooth, low-resistance retrieves. The Hagane Gear system, forged for superior strength and longevity, ensures smooth cranking power that remains consistent season after season.
The G-Free Body shifts the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod to reduce fatigue and improve balance. Meanwhile, 11 S A-RB bearings plus 1 roller bearing provide seamless rotation and minimize friction, and the High Gear (HG) ratio of 6.0:1 delivers a fast 81cm line retrieve per crank—perfect for quick hooksets and efficient presentations.
Whether you’re working finesse jigs, soft plastics, or ultralight topwaters, the Vanquish C2500 SFA HG offers the precision, feel, and reliability needed to excel in technical fishing situations.
